This perfume does have an unusual feel, not just in the opening notes but throughout and I think that is due to something which conceptually at least, was a good idea. Wasabi root is an interesting note and considering most people have never actually had 'Real' wasabi (myself included) I will have to go off the horseradish and green food colouring we get in sushi restaurants, regardless it's an rarely used note. To me I get the same effect as a very calming lavender smell from the opening but it's mainly comprised of sweeter green notes, violet & fig leaf, citruses and galbanum. I do also get quite a nice undertone of coffee, it's very subtle and is likely coming from the tonka beans but it's there and very pleasing. It's not an earthy smell but there's definitely a touch of patch and grassy, herbaceous vibes keeping everything in check. The body of this fragrance is resinous myrrh and labdanum but still modern like something from Comme des Garcon. Despite all of this interest and promise to begin with, something is sadly lacking from this creation and suffers from the usual misgivings of Olfactive studio fragrances. There seems to be something not fully fleshed out about their ideas, I have made the mistake of rushing into buying the latest offering 'Selfie' which again is the same story. The illusion of innovation is quickly replaced by a slightly baggy, shapeless scent in the drydown, with none of those defined and discernible notes from the beginning. We could say this about many fragrances but all too often I've found myself saying it about Olfactive studios fragrances and that has to mean something. I actually loved this when I first sampled it in store but now having bought the mini set and worn it I'm less convinced it would be worth adding to my collection. Don't be discouraged from trying Panorama because it has some interesting ideas, just be wary the wow factor of the novel opening is temporal and smell becomes less likable throughout the wear...did for me anyway.
